Look, I know January has been a busy month for most of us, but at what point did the media bump their head and think it was OK to officially start using terms such as “merse” and “mewelery.”

It happened this morning on the Today Show and you can read a portion of the story below,

“There is a relatively new dichotomy in men’s apparel, and a new language to go along with it. Words like “murse” (yes, man purse), and “mewelry” (man-jewelry) have been introduced into our vernacular to describe new products for men”

First thing’s first. Practically every article posted to Fashables is positive and the goal isn’t to talk negative about clothing brands. We’re happy people and trash talk isn’t our style.

Now, with that said, I’ve received three emails this week from guys asking me about Boss shoes and why I don’t highlight them. I responded each time with an explanation, which prompted one guy to say, “The same exact thing happened to me! You need to share this with people.”

Out of dedication, and against my better judgement, I’m going to do this post – a post about winter hats for men.

First, the disclaimer: I hardly EVER wear hats. If I do it’s because I feel like I’ve been run over by a truck or because it’s so cold that my ears start to hurt.

A lot of emails have come in lately from guys wanting to know what kind of winter hats to wear, specifically, hats that won’t mess up their hair. Those don’t really exists, so if you want to keep your hair straight you’ll need to go the ear muff route or wear a headband of sorts.

I’ve been on the prowl for a pair of boots lately, and the AllSaints Ridge Boot is what I’ve decided to go with.

I fully admit that shoes aren’t my strongest point, primarily because this is one area I navigate towards higher priced items, which becomes a problem when I actually try to find something in the price-range I’m comfortable spending.

I’ve searched everywhere from Aldo to John Varvatos to Steve Madden, and nothing seems to have done the trick. But, when I saw the Allsaints Ridge Boot I thought to myself, “that’s what I’ve been looking for!”
